For the last several years, I've been using a fantastical version of Earth based (very) loosely on real-world geography and making use of historical sites and locations (It has virtually nothing in common with real world history, since I figure the presence of odd races, magic, etc would alter it such that it's unrecognizable anyway).
I thought I'd "post" some of it to see if anyone's interested and hear (read) what some of you think.
I put the word "post" in quotes, because I'm going to do something somewhat unorthodox and merely link to chunks I already have posted on my own site on the grounds that it would take up way too much space in this thread.
Here's what I've posted on this so far. (http://www.penguinsushi.com/index.php?page=Forum&thread=27)
I'm looking for general feedback here, but also suggestions and ideas for expanding it. I have quite a few thoughts that I haven't yet posted, but I know I haven't thought of nearly all the cool ideas and applications that could be crafted - and I probably won't.
I'm most interested in ideas for expanding and tweaking these entries (http://www.penguinsushi.com/index.php?page=Forum&thread=27#reply88) (Geography, Major Cities, Legendary Sites) and things along that line.
Note: As I've mentioned on another thread (somewhere): With regard to any game mechanics listed (particularly in the new races), I'm not overly concerned with what standard d&d would consider 'balanced', 'over-powered' or whatever. I'm more concerned with concept.
